Kissimmee Redesigns Downtown Streets | Orlando News
Description
Kissimmee’s downtown is getting a $30 million makeover with the Connect Kissimmee Complete Streets Improvement Project, aiming to redesign key roads like Broadway, Main Street, and Emmett Street for safer, more connected travel by car, bike, and foot. A major move includes a “road diet” on Broadway, narrowing it to two lanes to slow traffic and support transit access — but not everyone’s on board. Local business owners worry it could hurt foot traffic, especially for older customers, and question if it’ll truly ease congestion. Construction begins in 2027, funded by state and local sources, and the city is inviting residents to voice concerns at a public meeting this week.
